What Causes Dark Pigmentation In The Groin Area?
Hi, I m 30yr male with 65kgs weight. My groin area has become dark and pigmented since long time. Sometimes it s itchy and most of the time it s stick with bad smell. I m applying talc powder to avoid stickiness. How do I get rid of stickiness and darkness of skin

Hi,
The stickiness is due to the growth of bacteria/fungi growing in moist (due to sweat) & unhygienic area of the groin. These produce a foul smell. Itching is due to fungal infection. Try to keep the area clean with frequent washing & drying. Use a ti fungal talcum powder like Candid powder. Consult a dermatologist in case of no relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
